The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation. Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!! Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨ By Micaela Lasser, Helen Willsey @goodfrognosis Lab @zeiss_micro LSM980 fast airyscan

Biggest story on the front page of the Financial Times. Rightly. UK commits scientific, business and cultural suicide.
